    1 tsp Dijon mustard
    1 tsp dried basil leaves

3) In medium bowl, mix egg product, milk, mustard, pasta sauce, basil & salt; pour over bread/sausage mixture. Cover tightly and refrigerate at least 2 hours but no longer than 24 hours.

4) Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake uncovered 40 to 45 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp; drain between paper towels.

5) Crumble bacon. Sprinkle bacon and remaining 1/2 cup cheese over strata. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
